Tracing past Scotland to Ireland
« on: Wednesday 11 April 18 16:28 BST (UK) »
Is anyone able to shed more light on my 4th great grandparents? I have no idea where in Ireland they lived - where would I start this search?

Maria Aitken Broadley
1812–1899
BIRTH ABT. 1812 • (Northern?) Ireland
DEATH 24 FEB 1899 • Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland

&

David Crossgrove
1798–1871
BIRTH ABT. 1798 • (Northern?) Ireland
DEATH 1 APR 1871 • Crosshill, Kirkmichael, Ayrshire, Scotland

They were Cotton Weaver's and I can't find anything on them prior to Scotland. They are in the 1851 census Kirkmichael census so would have moved over before then. All their children were born in Scotland.

Thanks
Kirsty

If their children were born in Scotland then their marriage date and place will be on their birth record if they were born post 1855.

Though looking at the dates they probably were born before 1855 but the info may still be in the OPR'S

All born prior to 1855 unfortunately

Hi Kirsty. This seems to duplicate yesterday's thread but with a different title.

As you don't know where in Ireland they originated have you tried looking at your enquiry from a local history perspective? Find out if Irish people in Maybole and environs came from a particular area of Ireland. Maria Broadley and David Crossgrove wouldn't have been the first Irish people to settle there. They may have been joining others who had come from the same area in Ireland.
I see from the 2nd document that David's occupation was church officer. Do you know which church? There may be a church history.

You say all children were born in Scotland. Do you know when & where? Have you found any baptisms?
